Answer: The maximum possible speed v is √2(  hν - Ф  ) / m

Explanation: You could be referring to the provided explanation, despite the fact that the question isn't comprehensive. When a photon collides with the surface of any metal, it transmits all of its energy to the electron in the atom. The collision causes the electron to travel with a certain amount of kinetic energy. This is referred to as the photoelectric effect. The maximum kinetic energy is calculated using Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect:

K.E. = hν - Ф

½ mv² = hν - Ф

Hence the maximum possible speed is:

v = √2(  hν - Ф  ) / m

For more information on the photoelectric effect refer to this link: brainly.com/question/25027428

I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm

From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)
